A couple of days ago I wrote a whole story about this one and posted it, but then it suddenly just dissapeared.🤨 So I was a bit frustrated and didn't want to write all of it again lol. But here I am, trying to reconstruct what I was thinking 😅. Hypoestes phyllostachya.
As you can see on my IG, I had a pink one a while ago. But eventually I traded her for some scindapsus cuttings I wanted so badly. 🤷‍♀️ Since I just got this red one, I can't say a lot about her yet. But I can tell you a little story about the pink one. 💚
A while ago I learned that hypoestes are real dramaqueens! When she was thirsty she would play dead and when she didn't get enough sun she'd grow leggy. At the time I was too stubborn to place her somewhere with more sunlight, so I had a very leggy hypoestes with more green in her leaves. 😅
However she started flowering and simultanuously she popped out little fuzzy babies! 💚 So obviously she was exhausted from giving birth and the leggy part died. I took the dead stalks away and BAM I had a new small and hairy plant. After that I placed her in a spot with a lot more sunlight and she grew very pink and beautiful.
I actually always wanted to have a red one and now I do. 😊 I absolutely LOVE plants with red and/or dark foliage.
Oh and I love hypoestes, but I don't like fittonias. 🙈 Anyone else feel the same?

I got this rubber tree about a month ago at a flea market. It was a little neglected when I found it. The soil was horrible, it had centipedes and mealy bugs. I repotted and cleaned it all up but it lost some leaves. I hope it’s happy in my house.
Oh and by the way, I’m now Potted Plantitas ☺️

breathtaking 🤩 don’t really know what plant is this, but I’ve actually seen it on Instagram and wanted it for a long time. When I saw it for only TEN DOLLARS I felt like I got such a steal. 🤑 Alocasias are always a hard plant for me, so I’m keeping it in my bathroom where I can keep and eye on it.

Hoya minibelle, a great plant. Easy and fast growing. I noticed it doesn’t like to he moved. I just gave it a better spot and the small new leaves turned yellow and fell off but it’s bouncing back already by make new healthy ones.
